Amid Falling Leaves

There's a heart shaped hollow in her As she stands amid falling leaves The bare branches bear witness to her brokenness Her heartache hurts to her harm She stands alone and forlorn Waiting for her special someone That someone with whom she can share her pain That someone on whose shoulder she can rest That someone who will be her Spring The falling leaves are hopeful in their desolation Waiting for that someone to catch them As she also waits. 08.03.2020
